A LondonEnergy waste transfer and treatment station in Neasden, near Wembley in London, looks to be on fire, according to unconfirmed social media videos.

The London Fire Brigade (LFB) confirmed it is currently attending a fire at a mixed waste facility approximately 100m by 150m in Hannah Close, which is the location of the site.

In an incident statement the LFB said: “Twenty fire engines and around 125 firefighters are responding to a fire on Hannah Close, Neasden.

“The fire is located on an industrial estate.

“Residents in the immediate area should close doors and windows, remaining inside where possible, due to the large amount of smoke being produced.

“The Brigade’s Control Room took the first of over 70 calls reporting the fire at 1134. Crews from Wembley, Park Royal, Willesden and surrounding fire stations have been mobilised to the scene.

“The cause of the fire is not yet known.”

Three of the Brigade’s 32-metre ladders have been mobilised as part of the response, as well as its Drone Team. Firefighters have also deployed a Hose Laying Unit and High Volume Pump to the scene.

According to the fire service, tube services on the Metropolitan and Jubilee lines will be impacted as crews respond.

This is a breaking story and will be updated as more information becomes available.
